Real-World Applications

Desktop Power Workflows

Claude Desktop gives you a full-screen AI workspace with access to your CRM. Write listing descriptions using actual property data, generate comparative market analyses with real FRED data, and draft personalized outreach for your entire pipeline — all without switching between applications.

Document + CRM Integration

Upload a contract PDF to Claude Desktop and ask it to extract key dates, then create corresponding tasks in FUB with the right due dates. Or paste a lead list from a spreadsheet and have Claude create contacts, tag them, and enroll them in an action plan in one workflow.

Deep Research + Action

Ask Claude to research a topic — market trends, neighborhood data, school ratings — then immediately use that research to draft emails to relevant contacts in your database. The MCP connection means Claude can read your CRM data and take action without you copying and pasting between tools.

Bulk Content Generation

Generate personalized email content for dozens of contacts by having Claude read each contact's profile, history, and preferences through MCP, then draft unique messages for each one. Export the drafts or send them directly through the email tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DXT and how does it work?

DXT (Desktop Extension) is Claude Desktop's extension format for adding tool integrations. The Ace DXT package contains the MCP server configuration that tells Claude Desktop how to connect to your FUB account. Installation is one click — no terminal commands, no config files. The extension handles authentication, connection management, and tool discovery automatically.

What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude connect to external tools and data sources. Ace implements an MCP server that exposes all Follow Up Boss functionality as structured tools. When Claude Desktop connects via MCP, it can read your contacts, create tasks, send emails, pull market data, and perform any CRM action — all through natural conversation.

Do I need a special subscription?

Claude Desktop MCP access requires an Ace Pro subscription ($55/month). You also need a Claude Desktop account from Anthropic (separate subscription). The Ace Pro plan includes MCP access, the embed widget, voice features, and all 200+ tools. The MCP JWT token is issued through /api/mcp/auth and does not expire, so setup is a one-time process.

Is Claude Desktop different from the Ace widget?

Both access the same 200+ tools and your same FUB data. The difference is the AI model and interface. The Ace embed widget runs inside Follow Up Boss using Ace's own AI. Claude Desktop uses Anthropic's Claude model with its superior reasoning, writing, and research capabilities, plus the ability to work with local files, images, and documents. Claude Desktop is ideal for complex, multi-step workflows that combine research with CRM actions.
